win-images-xp
c886072

Prebuilt Windows disk image for testing (xp), as a compressed qcow2 split into volumes.

  • Source: installed from scratch by this repo's build-image workflow on a
    GitHub runner, using the ISO from the win-isos-xp release.
  • Built at: 2026-10-16 08:39:05 UTC (commit c8860725bf5d6651ce6a3c7068ff98a496a913b3)
  • Compressed size: 809172992 bytes (uncompressed qcow2 was 1565589504 bytes)
  • Parts: 1 × 1800m
  • SHA256: cc9961c11f64fb1af26a07be7b0be31610b619fc5882fda1e39db2f27d045925
  • Reassemble: cat xp_ready.qcow2.part* > xp_ready.qcow2
  • Verify: sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt (run after reassembling — it covers the parts and the image)

Using it (qemu >= 5.4 required for zstd compression clusters):

cat xp_ready.qcow2.part* > xp_ready.qcow2
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.txt
# the image is read-only in this form — stack an overlay to run it
qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b xp_ready.qcow2 -F qcow2 overlay.qcow2

Re-running the workflow re-publishes and replaces assets in place (old assets are
deleted first, so a shrinking volume count cannot leave stale parts behind).
